Letters about Good and Beautiful

«Letters about Good and Beautiful» – a book that Academician Likhachev dedicated to Russian youth. In this work, the scholar, who has often been called «the conscience of the nation», addresses the problems of moral education of young people. Honor, sincerity, truthfulness, selflessness, intelligence, dignity — how rarely, alas, today’s younger generation remembers them, focused from an early age on success and material wealth. Perhaps Likhachev's book will teach them that above all, a person should be human — to be able to love, to believe, to fight for their convictions, and to see and appreciate beauty?..
